Trainz Plus Beta 99618 (for Gold Class members)

Our first update for Gold Class members is now available for Beta Testing for PC only (Mac to follow next week).

This Beta Test is a "very close to final release" standard. There are some known issues (listed below) and we don't expect a long list of new issues to arise. But, that's why we want as many testers as possible to jump on board.

Instructions:
To become a tester, the instructions are simple:

Ensure your Gold Class Membership is active (if you don't have one there's $5 off your first month at the moment )

Followed your instructions - update went smoothly. On starting, I get an error "Unable to authorise this product. Please check your MyTrainz account details". Tried deleting and reinserting username and password to no avail. Previous versions worked OK. I am a current Gold member.

If you are talking about the stutter that is solved by hiding the HUD, then we believe so. We do not have a reliable repro case on any of our hardware here, so if you do, then please let us know if the issue is solved.

We've made a number of changes in this area (and have some more in progress for the next update), so things should be smoother.

Downloaded ok moved a route via CDP from original install 98592 into the new 99618 and found a lot of missing assets including built in. My 98592 version has all the DLC content downloaded but 99618 only has a couple of DLC downloads. AJS Invisible station kuid2:122285:3401:22 Shows built in for 98592 but unknown in 99618 which only has kuid2:122285:3401:20. Is the 22 version hidden in one of the DLC downloads and if so why is it not on the DLS for update? Those who build routes may use assets that have been updated in a DLC package without knowing that those who don't have the package will have it as missing content.

Edit Ctrl + F2 for quick drive not working. Quick drive does work from the tool bar.

Well I'm still configuring my system and will be testing soon. I cloned my TRS2019 data and program and will use that instead of my "production" version so nothing gets ruined in case things decide to go weird. This will give me a chance to test things in the same environment I use now with TRS2019 and with the same data so everything will be apples to apples.

i am creating a 200 mile route and everything seems much snappier to me. the only issue i am having, when i usually put textures down, i would left click and then right click to fill large areas, that doesn't work now.

more problems, every 15-30 minutes i crash to the desktop for no reason. sometimes when i save my route the sim crashes.
more over when i close trainz 19 rail driver doesn't go back to RD, it stays on 0. if the sim crashes, raildriver doesn't know the sim crashed and stays on 0. everytime this happens i have to restart my pc.
i am getting a crash window which i have already sent in, continue, exit, ignore errors. for an extensive test i shouldn't have all these problems, i had 0 problems before this update, the new features are great.

Reason: more issues

If we have no driver selected, such as while in walk mode, we shouldn't see the previously selected driver's route profile move along or at all in the interface. This is the same with the other none-driver associated cameras as well including fly, drone, and car.

I tested the new camera options but I wish that I can drive the car instead of choosing an AI (traffic) car. The keyboard controls to rotate the world in Surveyor mode don't work. I tried using the game controller and it worked but I don't want vibrations from the controller.
